Alkaline Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I remember going to the cinema to see that, i can't believe it's 13 years ago :/I quite liked it. Liv Tyler is adorable in it as well, cute but sexy with it.I think i'm the only person that thought High Fidelity was shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 High Fidelity was alright, but only just that, alright. I know a few people out there who seem to develop this romatic connection with the film (they are usually musos) because they pretend to identify with the lead character (i.e. I secretly wish I ran my old music store / I'm not over any of my ex's etc). This makes them believe the film is a lot better than it actually is, if you ask me.Sorry if I'm being cynical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 This tells you all you need to know.PS The book of High Fidelity was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 the best bit about it is Gwar, and the song mark plays and starts dancing like a complete boob. Which I never found out who that was by. Anyone have any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 It got me through my teenage years. And it inspired me to go and work in a record shop. It's awesome :-DWe spoke about this before. See. http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/general-discussion/21813-damn-man-save-empire.html. I'm not lying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 When Elwood and I worked together he made me watch Empire records.Im sorry dude but its Gash.Its just the whole "were all better people coz we have each other" crap that really puts me off movies like this.Only worth watching for Liv Tyler as shown above.

Lemonade Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Pishflaps. You watched it and said you hated it then told me later that you secretly loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 i thought i did for while then rewatched it and it confirmed my original hypothesis that it is utter pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavH Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 empire records is definitely worth a watch but cant stand high fidelity.But im not a big fan of john cusack and i cant stand jack black so that might have something to do with it...

Guest bluesxman Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I watched Empire Records last week with my other half, it's an OK time filler but there's a lot of cringe worthy crap in there that I never noticed at the time.High Fidelity is a much better film.

Metarie Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 It's cheesy as hell but I like the idea of it. I've worked places that have a similar vibe and you get that 'we're cooler than the customer' thing in loads of workplaces, it's kinda like Clerks in that respect. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy. When the Lemon Tree went down the pan I was dying for someone to help me organise a giant gig on the roof. Sadly this is the real world And Rex Manning...brilliant. Oh Rexy, you're so sexy!

Paranoid Android Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 PS The book of High Fidelity was better.High fidelity is one of the rare cases where I think the film is infinitely better than the book. The story just seems to work so much better as a film and the different setting suits it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
